Synergy between standards and intellectual property rights promotes technological self-reliance and self-improvement

Standards and intellectual property are the bridges and carriers of technological innovation. Promoting collaborative innovation between technological standards and intellectual property rights is a key lever for China to shape new driving forces and advantages for development, and achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. It is also an important driving force for accelerating the construction of a world science and technology powerhouse and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This requires us to accurately grasp the overall status of China's key core technologies, timely grasp the complex international scientific and technological competition environment, and continuously clarify the direction of promoting technological self-reliance and self-improvement through the synergy of standards and intellectual property rights.

Adapt to the requirements of technological self-reliance and self-improvement

Technological self-reliance and self-improvement is a major deployment made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China based on the new situation of domestic and international markets and the laws of technological development. Achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement is a concentrated manifestation of China's active pursuit of change and scientific adaptation in the process of building a new development pattern based on its own development reality and the laws of scientific and technological evolution. It is a product of China's reflection and adjustment of the logic and practice of past technological construction. The series of actions by the United States, attempting to unite its "allies" to "decouple technology from China, have accelerated the process of China's technological independence, security, and controllability.

Since the reform and opening up, relying on the huge market potential and demographic dividend, China's economy has grown rapidly and achieved remarkable achievements in the field of science and technology. At present, China has entered the ranks of innovative countries, but in some key core technology fields, it has not yet overcome the dilemma of being constrained by others. In recent years, the "encirclement" of supply cuts in the field of chip semiconductors has been a typical manifestation of developed countries attempting to curb China's economic development and technological progress. These countries, under the guise of intellectual property protection, have introduced a series of policies that undermine the basic principles of fairness for their members in international standards organizations and specific industry group standard alliances. This is far from the new concept of economic globalization that is open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced, and win-win. For example, from the transatlantic Trade and Technology Council of the United States and Europe to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and then to the Indo Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF), the United States' intellectual property strategy has formed a global layout and is still deepening. Its purpose is to curb the development space of China's related industries and weaken China's international institutional legitimacy by mastering the voice of technological competition. It can be seen that standards and intellectual property have become important aspects of the political, economic, and technological game between countries. In order to gain the initiative and voice of global technological innovation, we should continuously promote the collaborative innovation and integrated development of standards and intellectual property.

Assist in the innovation and development of the technology industry

Standards promote the standardized development of the technology industry, while intellectual property protection stimulates overall innovation in the technology industry. The gradual joint symbiosis and collaborative creation of standards and intellectual property is an important trend. The traditional single product production structure has been replaced by a multi subject, multi-level, and multi node industrial three-dimensional chain structure based on the synergy of standards and intellectual property. The characteristics of the standard innovation network promoting technological industry innovation through various methods such as open source innovation, patent pool, and factual standards have gradually become clear.

At present, some traditional industries in China still have weak collaborative innovation between standards and intellectual property, lack of emphasis on patent pool construction in industrial alliances, and less involvement in industrial policies regarding the guidance of standards and intellectual property on patent collaboration and patent value co creation, which affects the independent, safe, and controllable process of scientific and technological development. At the same time, China has occupied the international leading edge of 5G technology, which gives the ICT based industrial Internet, intelligent manufacturing and other cutting-edge scientific and technological industries the opportunity to leap the value chain. The collaborative innovation of standards and intellectual property in the technology industry is influenced by atypical factors such as data, users, security, platforms, intelligence, and networks. Relying on huge user market advantages and industrial policy preferences, many industries such as big data, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology also have the possibility of technological catch-up. Collaborative innovation between the two is becoming an important means to promote the development of the technology industry.

Taking multiple measures to promote technological self-reliance and self-improvement

Firstly, technological self-reliance is a prerequisite for technological self-improvement. To achieve high-level technological self-reliance, it is necessary to solve the bottleneck problem in key core technology areas. Firstly, we should encourage open collaboration among diverse innovative entities, deploy emergency technology projects, promote the localization of key core technologies and "supply cut" products, and complete intellectual property breakthroughs in scarce technologies and products as soon as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the top-level design and institutional arrangements for technological self-reliance, deploy the development trajectory of the technology industry globally, clarify the evolution direction of key core technologies, and use multiple forces to jointly carry out technological breakthroughs, actively seize market opportunities with comprehensive technological leadership advantages.

Secondly, technological self-reliance is a further leap forward in technological self-reliance and an overall representation of a country's technological strength. To achieve high-level technological self-reliance, it is necessary to continuously enhance the country's technological innovation and influence. At the level of innovation, emphasis is placed on the deployment of basic research and cutting-edge technological exploration in the technology industry, consolidating innovation output through optimized allocation of innovative elements, and enhancing the industrial transformation ability of scientific and technological innovation achievements. In terms of influence, actively participate in the formulation of international standards and rules, grasp the dominant discourse power of standards, and seize the high ground of the global innovation chain and value chain. In some advantageous areas, it is necessary to further evaluate and grasp the trend of technological evolution, carry out cutting-edge technology layout in advance, and continuously strengthen the international competitiveness of China's advantageous industries.

Thirdly, achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement requires strategic planning of standards and collaborative innovation of intellectual property rights, and enhancing the discourse power of future industries in the international market. As a series of key industries that drive global economic and social changes, including artificial intelligence, robotics, cutting-edge life technology, cybersecurity, and big data, the future industry has become an important target industry for countries to seize technological discourse power. Promoting future industrial self-reliance and self-improvement requires long-term collaborative driving of innovative elements such as knowledge, technology, talent, funding, standards, and intellectual property. This requires further strengthening the collaborative innovation of standards and intellectual property rights in future industries and related foundational supporting industries, improving the patent quality of future industries through key technological breakthroughs to gain technological leadership, and constructing a standard innovation network to enhance the legitimacy and status of future industries to gain market recognition.
